Re: Manual Testing real time example

Hey Rahul,

Testing in simple terms means to check for defects, errors or faults in any applcation under test.
We try to ensure that the applicaiton behaves as it is required to (as per functional specifications) and also ensure that application does not behave in a manner that it is not supposed to (Negative testing).

Testing when carried out without the help of any tool is called as Manual testing. When user is required to carry out every activity related to testing manually, we say it is a Manual testing process.

A simple example of testing would be a Login screen - we could test quite a few scenarios. Enlisted below are a few : -

1) Checking if Both Username and Password are entered and not blank
2) Masking of Password is implemented
3) Verifying if screen navigates to next page incase valid Login credentials are provided.
4) Incase of invalid login, ensuring system does not navigate further but displays an error message.
5) Checking the maximum possible length of login and password fields.

I have tried to avoid the usual definitions for testing and sound as general as possible ......

Re: Manual Testing real time example

what is manual testing? can you please give one real time example? even a small and easy one will work and how you write test case for manual testing also with example. Thanks.

manual testing;-
manual tesing means to perform manual test operations on the aut without any help of automation tools.steps for manual testing:-
1. Understand the functionality of application
2.prepare the test plan
3.write the test cases and execute on the aut.
4.verify actual and expected results
5.prepare the bug report
After recieving the modified build from the developer we wil go for retesting and regression testing.these process are repeated until the bug status is closed.

example:-
electric bulb
test cases:-
1.the bulb should be of required shape and size
2. Should be able to fitted and removed from the holder
3.should sustain the voltage for which it is designed for
4. Should glow on switching on
5.should not glow on switching off
6.should glow with required illumination
7.life of the bulb should meet the requirement

i hope u can get some idea of it.
If u have any doubts i will give u some more examples.

Re: Manual Testing real time example

testing of anything manually is manual testing. Say you are checking a simple login function with
1) Correct combination of username and password
The most basic test is a correct combination of username and password, everybody knows the expected result. But once it will happen that even a good combination doesn’t work. Possibly caused by a miss configuration of the application.

2) Incorrect combination of username en password
For example a correct username and a wrong password. Or use a password that exists in the database but is linked to another user. If the combination is wrong, most of the times you don’t have access to the application behind the login function/page and you get an error message.

3) Correct username and empty password
Most of the applications are coded in a way that you don’t have access to the application with this test case. But in some situations “something unexpected went wrong please check the error log”

4) Correct password and empty username
In this case you could expect the same result as in the test case before. And this is true most the time and where a lot of (functional) testers will stop. Because the application fulfills the expectations that are given by the functional design and/or requirements. But there is much more. There are more risks and more opportunities to enter the application; even without logging in.

5) Check the meaning and information in the error
Information and information leakage is food for hackers. Specific error and stack traces are full of information that can be misused by hacker. There are three possibilities of errors that can occur if you have an incorrect login.
